uh... so how is the default chosen? Google has better results, sure, but the difference is not consequent enough that Apple cannot make some (good) money out of it.
Was $1 billion a couple years ago. Could also be that Apple doesn't care switching to Bing. This huge $9b amount is not only to have users go through Google, it's also to prevent the same users from going through Bing.
Hardware update is easy, and they do that. But they don't want to rewrite those millions of source code lines, as long as they run ; "we don't need an upgrade"
"The third and final factor identified by the scientists is the massive loss of ice on Greenland and other areas"
That affecting the "wobbling" is possible. But the loss of ice - melting and going into oceans - should make earth wobble less, as oceans are more equally distributed on earth than blocks of ice.
Mao encouraged everyone to wipe out sparrows (...)
Not only sparrows, mosquitoes too... (RTFWA). And indeed eliminating sparrows happened to be a bad idea. But they said nothing about mosquitoes... "The four pests to be eliminated were rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. The extermination of sparrows resulted in severe ecological imbalance". So, wiping out mosquitoes was maybe a good idea.

I switched years ago, and feel dirty when I use google
DDG does not perform as well as Google. Better use Bing, still!
the default should not be influenced by money

If anyone knows how many mac users there are
uh... it's Safari on iOS, meaning Apple mobile devices.
Not sure. In a few months, Brexit. Tough financial crisis follows. UK becomes the 51st US state. ECG feature approved by the US. q.E.D.
Interesting. However you're comparing the release of a music player to people working on the Moon...
He 3?
Twelve years from now, we'll have a good laugh reading this archived slashdot discussion.
Boys and girls have both the same abilities. However boys tend to be more inclined to pursue studies in science.
You’re Mr Shazam
A company that is still using COBOL also has entrenched, archaic ways of doing EVERYTHING
They're called "banks".

COBOL is the future, of 1954.
IMO Soundhound is (much) better at finding songs that you sing. Shazam is better at finding genuine songs that play on the radio.
but you need to say "shazzaaaam" at the same time
googling on four words from a lyric
like this one?
What we need is a way to target only mosquitoes that carry malaria
uh... that's what they do actually.
Difference is that 1) mosquitoes have fewer neurons and don't even know what happens to them, 2) at last, efficient birth control for humans!
7.7Bn people on the planet, it's still growing
Putin, Trump and their friend Kim are going to take care of that.
May they will become as large as eagles and need to drink all of the blood of a human every day.
At least they'd be easier to spot in the bedroom, naively waiting for darkness to come as they usually do.
7.7Bn people on the planet, it's still growing ... Someone in power needs to think this through in a dispassionate manner.
Not in power, but maybe would be good to help these people get access to birth control (instead of letting them die of malaria).
not because I'm single though
and not using Facebook will not help...
A 4.6 / 10 "documentary"... must be good!
